Runs on Espresso

By Jenna

Let's grab a coffee and talk all things running & running adjacent! I love running & trying to stay fit. Let's be real, it's a struggle to fit in work, running, cross-training, and strength training on top of all our other responsibilities. Life happens, and it's ok to change plans and goals. That's the whole idea behind Runs on Espresso. We plan, we run, and we achieve.
